The Mindful Writer - A 2020 Resource Page
I had the loveliest group today on what was a grand experiment - my first Mindful Writer workshop delivered via Zoom, generously hosted by Mosman Library.
It was lots of fun, though a very novel and occasionally weird experiment. I would so love to hear from you if you did the workshop, and don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
As promised, here is a page of resources to help you explore further some of the things I mentioned:
